Laguna
Beach is the heart of the Orange County group of beach communities collectively
known as the California Riviera. Laguna Beach is ideally located right
in between Los Angeles and San Diego and is known throughout the world
as a unique beach community and artist's colony. Although the city covers
just nine square miles, it has seven miles of some of the finest beaches
that you will find anywhere in California.

Laguna Beach was developed as resort
destination more than a century ago. In the early 1900's the artists started
arriving and have firmly established Laguna Beach as a premier art lover's
destination. Every summer, millions of visitors from all over the world
come to Laguna Beach to take in such prestigious events as Pageant Of The
Masters, Art-A-Fair, the Sawdust Fine Art and Crafts Festival and many,
many more.

The
appealing charm of an artist's colony, combined with the lovely ambiance
of a seaside village, sets Laguna Beach apart as one of the most unique
and beautiful settings in Southern California for weddings and other special,
important events. Many weddings take place in the parks that have breathtaking
views of the coastline and our personal favorite, Main Beach.

Gentle sea breezes and some of the world's
most pristine beaches and clearest water make Laguna Beach a year-round
recreational mecca. If you are interested in great golf, Laguna Beach sits
right in between two of Orange County's BEST golf courses. Just a few minutes
south is Monarch Beach Golf Links. Designed by Robert Trent Jones, Jr.
and patterned after the Scottish links style of play, the golf course's
intriguing layout stretches out on Southern California's spectacular Dana
Point. The elegant Tuscan-style clubhouse boasts stunning ocean views and
exceptional cuisine. Just a few minutes North of Laguna Beach is Pelican
Hill Golf Club, home of two award winning Golf Courses. The Ocean North
Course and the Ocean South Course each offer players of all abilities the
opportunity to play and enjoy two of the most beautiful and challenging
courses in the World of Golf. Both are designed by famed architect Tom
Fazio.

Whether you are coming to shop, dine,
